Received an RFE, NOID, NOIR or USCIS denial?
Send us information about the USCIS notice or decision and the underlying immigration case. We can review the procedural posture, deadline, issues USCIS identified, evidence already submitted, and the available response or post-decision options.
Send Us Your NoticeThe notice itself is the best place to start.
Tell us what USCIS sent you and what happened before the notice.
An RFE, NOID, NOIR or denial should be evaluated together with the underlying petition or application and the evidence already submitted. The wording of the notice, the procedural history, and the existing administrative record can materially affect the response strategy.
When contacting us, provide enough information to identify the immigration benefit, USCIS action and deadline. You do not need to write a lengthy legal explanation. A concise factual history and the USCIS notice are generally the most useful starting points.

The more accurately we can identify the procedural posture, the more useful the initial review can be.
USCIS Notice or Decision
Tell us whether you received an RFE, NOID, NOIR, denial, revocation decision or another USCIS notice.
Underlying Filing
Identify the petition or application involved, such as I-140, I-129, I-130, I-485, I-751, I-601 or another immigration filing.
Response or Appeal Date
Provide the deadline shown on the notice or the date the adverse decision was received so timing can be reviewed immediately.
Brief Case Description
Explain what was filed, what USCIS questioned, what evidence was previously submitted, and anything important that occurred afterward.
Contact us about the stage your case has reached.
Request for Evidence
USCIS says additional evidence or explanation is required before it can complete adjudication.
Notice of Intent to Deny
USCIS has identified adverse information or a legal or evidentiary basis for intended denial and provides an opportunity to respond.
Notice of Intent to Revoke
USCIS is reconsidering an approved petition and identifies grounds that may support revocation.
Denial or Revocation
The next step may involve an appeal, motion to reopen, motion to reconsider, refiling or another benefit-specific review procedure.
We start with the notice and the record.
